Abstract

Objective: To understand the perception of quilombola women about the prenatal care they received. Method: A qualitative and descriptive study, conducted with 13 women from a quilombola community, aged 18 years and over, who experienced the gestation process for one year, with prenatal consultations. Data collection between July and August 2019, through a semi-structured questionnaire, in a recorded interview, subjected to content analysis according to Bardin. Results: The following categories were highlighted: perception of quilombola women about their partner's participation in prenatal care; quilombola women's perception of the relationship between professional and pregnant women in prenatal care; quilombola women's perception of access to routine prenatal laboratory tests and quilombola women's perception of prenatal orientation. Final Considerations: Quilombola women perceive the participation of their partner in prenatal care as an emotional support during pregnancy, although this is not a reality experienced by them owing to the work relations of their partner, they also realize that the difficulties faced in accessing Routine prenatal laboratory tests put the mother-child binomial at risk and distance them from quality prenatal care. In addition, these women amount the care and orientation received during prenatal care by professionals present at the cutting edge of health services, which ensure their early uptake in the first trimester of pregnancy and attendance at 6 or more prenatal consultations, although these professionals do not always meet the recommendations of the Ministry of Health. The Study provides a reflection on the assistance of nurses inserted in Health Care Networks, with a view to ensuring the right of these women to access health services integral way and subsidize public policies for this population.
